Avoids injury designation Lawrence (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Mike McCarthy said earlier in the day that the team expected Lawrence to play Week 4, and the absence of an injury designation confirms that expectation. Lawrence is without a sack through three games but has eight tackles (five solo) and one pass defensed.

Set to play Sunday Coach Mike McCarthy said Lawrence (knee) "has done everything" Friday and is expected to play Sunday against the Browns, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The 28-year-old sat out the first two practices of the week, but there never appeared to be much doubt about his availability for Week 4. The release of the injury report later in the day will indicate whether Lawrence is fully cleared for Sunday or if he's still officially questionable.

Sits out Thursday, but will play Lawrence (knee) did not participate during Thursday's practice session, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact Lawrence missed practice Wednesday and Thursday of last week as well, before logging a limited session Friday and garnering 41 percent of the defensive snaps against the Seahawks. Coach Mike McCarthy indicated that in spite of Lawrence's lack of practice participation to this point in the week, he is expected to make his 52nd consecutive regular-season appearance Sunday against the Browns, per Michael Gehlken of Dallas Morning News. The coaching staff is seemingly trying to keep Lawrence as healthy as possible for game time after he played through the issue against Seattle.

Not practicing Wednesday Lawrence (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact Lawrence played through his knee injury last week against Seattle, so it's not surprising that he's getting a day off to start the week. If Lawrence hasn't suffered a setback, he should ramp up his practice participation as the week progresses ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.

Ready to rock Lawrence (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against Seattle, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It was reported earlier that Lawrence was expected to suit up in the contest after practicing on a limited basis, and this news confirmed that notion. Now officially in for Sunday's game, he's been seen his snap count managed through the first few weeks of the season, and it's likely the team will operate under that same notion.

Likely to suit up Lawrence (knee/personal), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Lawrence only practiced once this week -- on a limited basis -- while missing time due to the birth of his child and a lingering right knee injury. The Cowboys are apparently optimistic the knee issue won't prevented Lawrence from suiting up, but his status won't be firmly established until the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Lawrence was limited to playing 37 percent of the Cowboys' defensive snaps in the team's Week 2 win over the Falcons, so his workload could be managed carefully again Week 3. That said, Lawrence's ability to suit up in any capacity would be a boon for the Cowboys' pass rush, which will look to slow down red-hot quarterback Russell Wilson.

Status in question for Week 3 Lawrence (knee/personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Seattle, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Lawrence had quite the week, dealing with a knee injury while also welcoming the birth of his child. He missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but a limited session Friday leaves his status up in the air entering the weekend. If he suits up, it'll be interesting to see whether Lawrence bounces back from playing just 37 percent of the defensive snaps this past Sunday against the Falcons.

Personal absence Wednesday Lawrence (knee/personal) is not practicing Wednesday for family reasons, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Lawrence was also limited during the second half of Sunday's win over the Falcons due to a knee injury, so it'll be worth monitoring his activity when he returns to the team. With Everson Griffen on deck, the Cowboys have a more than competent option available in the event that Lawrence is forced to miss any time.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing Wednesday Lawrence (knee/personal) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Lawrence's knee injury limited his snaps during the second half of Sunday's win over the Falcons, and it looks as though he may currently be trending in the wrong direction for Week 3. The starting defensive end still has two more chances to increase his practice activity before a decision is made about his status, but Everson Griffen would be in line for increased work if Lawrence ends up forced to miss time.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Hampered by knee injury Coach Mike McCarthy said Lawrence is dealing with a knee injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Lawrence was hampered by this injury during this past Sunday's win over the Falcons, spending an unordinary amount of time on the sidelines and finishing with just 37 percent of defensive snaps. He'll be monitored closely during the upcoming practice week, and McCarthy relayed that he'll know more following Wednesday's practice. If he's forced to miss Sunday's game versus Seattle, Everson Griffen is next in line to start at defensive end.

Plays limited snaps in second half Lawrence saw limited action in the second half of Sunday's wild comeback win over the Falcons due to a knee injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Fifth-round pick Bradlee Anae took most of the snaps in his place. Lawrence was having an active day before getting hurt, recording five tackles, but he's still looking for his first sack of 2020. Expect his status to become clearer once the Cowboys begin preparations for their Week 3 tilt in Seattle.

Inks voidable extension The Cowboys signed Lawrence to a one-year voidable extension Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact The Cowboys converted $15 million of Lawrence's base salary for 2020 into a signing bonus, freeing up $12 million in cap space this year. The move could signal that the Cowboys are exploring the free agent market, or possibly that contract talks with Dak Prescott have progressed. Lawrence and Dallas had agreed to terms on a five-year, $105 million deal this offseason.

Impact Lawrence played in all 16 games for the third consecutive season in 2019, but his sack total (five) was cut in half from the previous year as he played through shoulder issues before a back injury felled him in the last game. The 28-year-old should be healthy entering 2020, with the signings of McCoy and Poe set to provide a significant interior presence , which could help Lawrence reach double-digit sacks once again.
